## Resource

The ACLU is suing Memphis officials over alleged retaliation against citizens documenting the city’s massive Safe Task Force — a joint federal and local operation conducting sweeping immigration raids and traffic stops since 2025. Community members report being followed, pulled over without cause, and even tackled while trying to film — tactics the ACLU says are meant to silence watchdogs. The lawsuit argues these actions violate First Amendment rights to observe and record government activity, and challenges Tennessee’s “Halo Law” as a tool to suppress accountability. Seeking a federal injunction, the ACLU targets top officials from DHS, ICE, and the U.S. Marshals Service, aiming to set a national precedent on citizen oversight of law enforcement.
